A was cleaning my hard drive, and found this article a wrote a few years ago. I felt it was worth sharing..and seeing what comments arise.
Enlightened Sexuality
I'd like to speak for a few moments about the spirituality of sexuality. All to often we tend to limit our definitions of sexuality to that of the physical. For many the definition of "sex" is limited as penis/vagina penetration. To say this, implies that there is no such thing as Gay or Lesbian sex and it limits sexuality to the physical spectrum. So members of society who profess to be liberal and open-minded will expand on this definition to say, "any act resulting in orgasm" is a "sex." I wish to challenge that definition entirely. In effort to understand my opinions it may help to have these definition as a preface.
According to Funk & Wagnall's College Dictionary: (partial definitions given)
Sex: Divisions by which organisms are distinguished with reference to the reproduction function; the activity or phenomena of life concerned with sexual desire.
Sexuality: the state of having or being distinguished by sex; preoccupation with sex; possession of sexual power.
Intimate: deeply personal, resulting from the close study of/or familiarity with a matter, pertaining to the inmost nature of being; essential and intrinsic.
Enlighten: To give revealing or broadening knowledge to; cause to know or understand; teach.
Spiritual: pertain to, having the nature of, or consisting of spirit as distinguished from matter; pertaining to or affecting the immaterial nature or soul of man.
Sprit: the vital essence or animating force in living organisms, especially man, often considered divine in origin; the part of a human being that is incorporeal and invisible and is characterized by intelligence, personality, self-consciousness and will; vivacity and energy.
Transform: any change; the act of transformation, a change from one construction to another, to change the potential of the flow; to alter the energy form.
As you can see from the above definitions sexuality and power are synonymous, as well as being an intrinsic and essential part of nature. When we connect with another being in a sexual manner we are in essence asking them to alter our current "state" of being. The questions that needs to be asked is what are we altering our state of being from, and what are we desiring our spiritual being too. It is my assertion that we are seeking to have our spirit enlightened, and sub sequentially transformed.
When I connect sexually with a partner I am allowing my energy to freely flow. Like water, energy takes the path of least resistance and it will flow in larger quantities to areas that are tried down pathways that are familiar. That does not mean that there will not be streams that trickle elsewhere from time to time, depending on the strength and construction of my energy at any given moment. However, unless my main pathway for release is completely obstructed it will always be affected by my energy. A few years ago while in a long term love relationship with a submissive, someone told me that when I was with a partner our Aura's appeared to be entwined enveloping us together. A point to which I wholeheartedly agree. This occurs when both partners are allowing their spirits to freely flow without obstruction, and thus encompassing those they share energy with completely. It is as is all the streams meet to form one lake. When those who share energy are able to bask in this spirituality they allow themselves opportunities to become enlightened.
You will also notice that physical acts of sexuality are not a requirement for such connectivity to occur. However, they greatly enhance the electrical charges that are shared. The Kama Sutra recommends Tantric sex (the act of laying together inserted, but not erect, or actively moving) as a way to grow closer, and enhance your sex life. However if you ask around, I think you will find that very few people practice it with much concern. The intimate connectivity that occurs when one partner is inside another, be it the male or the female, facilitates the exchange of power between the two. It enables the two to become synchronized in energy, if only on a physical level.
What enlightened sexuality is all about is taking that synchronization to all levels. Lying connected emotionally, in tears, or in laughter, or in fear, or in love. Intellectually connecting by being able to challenge and continually stimulates each other mental processes. Spiritually connecting by having your energies linger even when apart. A good sign of spiritual connectivity is the inability to control your need to touch the other person. Lastly, you may consummate that connectivity in a physical manner enables you to transform that energy in enlightenment about the other person and thus grow stronger in your connection.
I have had many lovers in my life, more than most, and I learned many things from sharing myself with them. Most of the experiences have left me with an incomplete feeling. While I may have felt great physically, intellectually I was bored. Often times I would have emotional fulfillment, but not physical. It has been on rare occasion that I have connected with someone on all levels. In all honesty, in my past there has only been a few persons to which I had connected with in such a matter. However fate intervened and broke those connections. I have spent many years hoping that destiny would allow me such divine experiences again. .
Joined together Dominants and submissive’s can alter their individual state of beings to encompass each other as they embrace their combined spirit. Each moment together enables us to grow stronger and closer. Together we will transcend the complacency, which surrounds us, and become unique creatures in our own right, who are perfect complements to each other. Love is too weak a word for what can be shared. Enlightenment is just beginning.
